News Briefs Non UN-Member Taiwan Makes Donation to Global Fund for AIDSDecember 26, 2002 Taiwan, a non-member of the UN, has donated EUR1 million (US$1.03 million) to the UN-initiated Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Taiwan's cultural and economic delegation announced in Geneva recently. "Through this donation, Taiwan is showing once again its commitment in the area of world health, commitment that it would want to see developed thanks to its admission to the World Health Organization," the Taiwanese mission said.
